With reference now to accompanying drawing, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described, wherein the present invention be applied to portable data assistance, as PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) or cell phone.
Fig. 1 is the functional block diagram according to the portable data assistance of this preferred embodiment.In Fig. 1, label 10 expression input units, the user of terminal is by input unit input information data, as personal information, and indicating terminal begins/stops communication, changes operator scheme and carries out other operation.Input unit is also referred to as classification choice device, classification selector, data level choice device, data level selector, apart from choice device with apart from selector.Label 20 expressions show the display of personal information, text and out of Memory.Label 30 expression storage personal information, as the memory device of telephone number and address, text, image, program and other data.Memory device is also referred to as memory, storage device.Memory device 30 is contained at least one memory, and also available plural memory comprises memory device 30.Label 40 expression communications interface units, it has been equipped with by telephone circuit and has sent and received the telephony port 41 of speech data and Email, bluetooth port 42 (" bluetooth " is trade mark) and the infrared port 43 that does not adopt telephone circuit to transmit and receive data.Communications interface unit 40 is called dispensing device, transmitter, energy conditioner and energy regulator.Label 50 expression control units, it is with each parts, as the input unit 10 also executive control operation that links to each other with communications interface unit 40.Control unit 50 is called input unit, input equipment, reading device and fetch equipment.Label 60 expressions produce the loud speaker of voice output, and the also microphone of sound import is caught in label 70 expressions.Control unit 50 is controlled the process of following explanation according to the instruction that is stored in the program in the memory device 30.
At first, illustrate userspersonal information input and store process in the portable data assistance into.
When selecting the personal information data entry mode by input unit 10, control unit 50 guidance displays 29 are opened the data input window of representing among Fig. 2 200.Data input window 200 has the input field 201 that is used for cuit, and these projects for example comprise office's title, telephone number, fax number and the individual's of individual name, diacritic, sex, address, telephone number, e-mail address, personal work birthday.The left side information, be called classification as name, diacritic etc.The user adopts input unit 10 to fill in all or some fields 201.After input information data in field 201, when the user selected " agreement " button 202, the information of being imported just was written in the memory device 30.By selecting " cancellation " button 203, can cancel the information that storage is imported.The telephone number of portable data assistance and e-mail address can set in advance in their field 201, need not be imported by input unit 10 by the user.By configure these information in advance in these fields, the user needn't check telephone number of terminal etc. and import these information, and improve availability.
For relevant other people personal information, the user with input unit 10 these information of input, and can store it in the identical input window of being opened.
The following describes according to the concrete condition and the destination that send, from the said method storage with the process that has the personal information that title (index is according to grade) is used to send as selection the relevant personal information relevant item of the selected item of one of rank designators such as traffic use, private purposes.
The personal information table window 300 that Fig. 3 explanation is opened in display 20.The user selects any one for example address name from the table 301 of the stored information of representing a plurality of people.Though table 301 has comprised name, telephone number and e-mail address clauses and subclauses, tabulation also can be made into other form; For example, if the display screen of portable data assistance is very little, just only list name.
When the user confirms to select and selects " affirmation " button 302, on display 20, just open selection window 400 as shown in Figure 4.The user adopts input unit 10 to select to want the information project that sends 401 from tabulating.By the selector of drop-down input rank popup menu 402 as shown in Figure 5, the user selects title, as one of rank designator of private purposes, traffic use etc.Selected project is stored as a data set that will send, and indicates title.According to exemplary selection shown in Figure 4, selecting the office of name, this person's work, the telephone number and the fax conduct of office will be the data that traffic use sends.After having selected the project and levels of information that will send, when the user selected the Save and Load button 403, item selected and title just stored in the memory device 30 relatively.
If the storage that the user wants after having stored the data that will send for traffic use, will send for private purposes is in memory device 30, the user for example selects " private 1 " by the selector of drop-down levels of information popup menu 402 as shown in Figure 5 so.The user should select the project that will send, just as in the data conditions that is stored as the traffic use transmission.
When changing,, select the user to want the rank that will send data that changes over by the selector of pulldown information rank popup menu 402 as the project that will store for the data that traffic use or private purposes send.Increase one or more projects that will send according to user's needs, perhaps the one or more projects of deletion from the project that will send are checked and are selected and select the Save and Load button 403, and new then project and the rank of selecting just stores in the memory device 30.In this preferred embodiment, unless select " transmission " button 405 or " end " button 406, otherwise the operation that the user can continue to select new transmission rank and data or change the data that will send.
In this preferred embodiment, as mentioned above, project is that the personal information of importing from having is also selected the project as other transmission storage of certain level.Therefore, needn't no matter when send the change of situation and destination and just import personal information.The transmission data of various ways can easily be stored in the memory of single portable data assistance, and better availability is provided.
Prepare the different information characteristic groups that will send for different recipients if desired, yet most information characteristics, be identical as personal information, all information characteristic groups that will be used for various objectives ground so store memory device 30 into and can cause effectively utilizing memory space.By the title of the information project of user input, private purposes, traffic use etc. and the selected item that indicates title are stored in the memory device 30, rather than all information characteristic groups are stored in the memory device 30 redundantly, can reduce occupied memory space.Project is not data content, as name, sex and address.They are to distribute to the number as identifier (ID) that projects are used to manage.Therefore, a plurality of combinations of title and item id number will be stored in the memory device 30.If predefine id number, then available id number replace title so as the management.
If all send data set is separate storage, when a project when information changed (changing as telephone number) so, all respective item that send in the data set must change.As a comparison, in this preferred embodiment, need not revise and import personal information once more to adapt to different transmission situations; On the contrary, the information that send is to select from the personal information project of initial input.Therefore, even a project of personal information changes when having stored the transmission data of various ways, also only need be chosen in the information project of importing in the personal information input window.So just can realize being easy to information management.
By using the drop-down selector of the levels of information popup menu 402 in the preferred embodiment like this, the user can easily select title, as levels of information.Yet the menu with drop-down selection is not determinate, and the user can import title by input unit 10.This direct mode allows the user at random to specify one, and be suitable for may be to the rank designator of all different environment for use of each user.
According to above preferred embodiment, the user imports personal information, thereby information is write in the memory of portable data assistance, and selects the data that will send.This embodiment can be changed into like this, and operation center's representative of consumer is registered the data by the personal information of user's appointment, and sends the data of registration to terminal; At last, storage is in terminal, and the user selects the data that will send according to rank then.Because portable data assistance more and more miniaturization and input unit, also becomes very little as character entry key improving its portability, therefore compares with personal computer, character may be difficult to input.In this preferred embodiment, in order to adapt to different transmission situations, needn't import the personal information of change once more, on the contrary, the user only needs the project that selection will send from the project of conduct stored personal information as described above.Therefore, even the user is unfamiliar with the use portable data assistance, the user also can adopt other device to store personal information rather than come input information by the user, and final, the personal information that send can according to circumstances and easily change.
The data of storage personal information realize that by this way for example, customer call operation center tells the operator personal information, and this information is received by operator or speech recognition mechanism then.The information that is received is stored with data mode, and can be sent in the personal information database of portable data assistance.Then, personal information is given user's portable data assistance by E-mail conveyance as the incidental data file of Email.Receiving on the portable data assistance of this Email, incidental data file is opened by user instruction, storage in memory.In this case, the user will be filing and the data paying that transmits personal information.
Perhaps, website's homepage of user capture operation center reproduces the information on the personal information reception webpage, and in user terminal, last, this information stores is in memory with these download of information in the request website.Perhaps, user capture local service center etc. tell receptionist user to want to store into the personal information in its terminal, and service centre is entered as data with information, and the information terminal that data is sent to the user also finally is stored in the terminal.
Though what illustrate in above preferred embodiment is the personal information of input or registration and storage conduct transmission data, should be appreciated that this embodiment also is applicable to the schedule or the view data of input or registration and storage conduct transmission data.
The input personal information also selects its project to carry out as described above by input unit 10.Though do not describe the structure of input unit 10 in detail, input unit is not limited to the keyboard be made up of the numeral and the cursor key of character keys and removable cursor.Also can adopt the display 20 of touch-screen, like this user can by with his or her finger the pen or equivalent touch display 20 come input information.If portable data assistance is the PDA that has big display as shown in Figure 6, so preferably adopt touch display, easily input character or simileys of user like this, this has just improved availability.If portable data assistance is the cell phone than small displays of having as shown in Figure 7, keyboard operation is better than touch display screen so, because keyboard operation can prevent to select mistake.
Explanation now sends the process of the transmission data of being stored.Hereinafter, will illustrate data send to another portable data assistance, as cellular illustrative example.Yet it can certainly send to data in other device, as personal computer.
First transport process of bluetooth port 42 is adopted in explanation now, wherein sends information and regulates the transmission output of information according to distance.When the user changes over transfer mode with pattern and pass through input unit 10 selections first transfer mode, just opened permission user as shown in Figure 8 and specified transmission range and the window that sends data.Label 801 expression allow distance that user's specific datas can send apart from selector button.When the user selects one of them button, transmission range that just can appointed information.Label 802 expressions allow the user to specify the data selector that sends data." agreement " button that is provided with is specified in label 803 expression storages, and " cancellation " button that is provided with is specified in label 804 expression cancellations.Range marker " 20m " expression sends output and is configured to make information can send at the arbitrary portable data assistance in sending 20 meters scopes of terminal." contact " expression transmission output is arranged to make information to send to and is sent another portable data assistance that terminal links to each other.
As above provide to make transmitting power variable apart from selector button 801 be useful.For example, when in the room, holding a meeting, brief data are distributed to conference member from terminal, and can prevent that data are leaked to outside the meeting room.According to this preferred embodiment, except transmitting, can also give in the room some with the data multileaving at certain hour in particular room, as the information in the meeting room.Owing to different, do not need access point, therefore the information multileaving can be given the member of the particular groups in the external environment condition yet by local area network communication.Adopt bluetooth port 42 to give a plurality of people though be embodied as in this embodiment, also can adopt other directional communication method the information multileaving.
Unless the information multileaving must be given a plurality of people, otherwise for example when you want to come transmission information or during transmission information, can adopt beam communication set such as infrared port 43 on specific direction by " contact ".By adopting bluetooth port 42 or infrared port 43 except that telephony port 41 to send and receive information, just can not spend communication expense to be used for transmission information.
The transmission range of data and the combination of transmission data preferably also are set, so that automatically change the data that will send according to being provided with.For example, control transmits as described below.The information that only contains being designated as of title " private 1 " sent to be positioned at from sending terminal the portable data assistance of the scope of 10 meters radiuses.The information that will be designated as " private 2 " sends to the terminal that is positioned at from sending 5 meters radiuses of terminal.When another portable terminal joined with the transmission terminal, the information that will be designated as " private 3 " sent to this another portable terminal.Fig. 9 is the flow chart of the step of this transmission processing of explanation.At first, send the terminal inspection and around it, whether have the terminal (step 910) that can send data to it.If there is no these terminals then send terminal and stop sending processing.If there are these terminals, the transmission terminal is determined the distance (step 920) with these terminals.The data (step 930) that terminal will send according to determined distance display.When the user agreed to send data, terminal was regulated transmitting power (step 940).Terminal is connected (step 950) with radio frequency communication path by bluetooth port 42 or infrared port 43, and sends data (step 960).According to this preferred embodiment, by being adjusted to the distance of purpose portable data assistance, just can automatically change the information that will send simply.Because information project all indicates wherein a kind of rank in advance and is stored, as described in this preferred embodiment, therefore, only have a memory even send terminal, also can change the information that will send according to distance.
Second process of transmitting is described then, has wherein specified destination (receiving terminal) and information is sent to them.Figure 10 is the flow chart of explanation treatment step, has wherein specified receiving terminal and data to be sent to these receiving terminals.
When the user changes over emission mode with pattern and selects second emission mode by input unit 10, handle beginning, send the terminal inspection and around it, whether have the terminal (step 1010) that can send data to it.If there is no these terminals then send terminal and stop sending processing, show the message of for example " not finding the recipient ", and expression does not have to send to it terminal (step 1020) of data.If there is this Terminal Type, the tabulation 1101 (step 1030) of the destination that the terminal video data can send to; This tabulation is represented in Figure 11.Adopt data receiving terminal selector button 1102 and 1103 shown in Figure 11, it is that information is sent to some terminals (particular terminal that marks) that data can send to that the user specifies, and still information is sent to the terminal that all are listed.According to the user designated destination, if when sending to all terminals, must send, perhaps when sending to the appointment receiving terminal, must send by infrared port 43 by bluetooth port 42, then carry out port and switch (step 1040).Then, terminal demonstrates the tabulation 1201 of the data that can be sent out on window, allows the user to specify the data (step 1050) that will send; This window is represented in Figure 12.When the user has specified the data that title maybe will send and has selected " agreements " button 1202, wait the distance of calculating from the terminal that is chosen as receiving terminal (step 1060) by infrared sensor, the transmission terminal is regulated its transmitting power (step 1070).Send that terminal is connected to and receiving terminal between radio frequency communication path (step 1080).Send terminal specific data is sent to designated terminal (step 1090).
In second process of transmitting, selecting your destination sends data then, therefore, even send the bulletin that comprises top-secret information, also can realize reliable transmission.For example, can transmit by this way, make bulletin A send to all members of meeting, and bulletin B send to some member.The user selected receiving terminal and the data that will send after, in order to prevent wrong transmission, show that preferably user as shown in figure 13 confirms prompting, like this, if the user agrees to send, terminal just can send data.And, confirm the data items that prompting preferably includes receiving terminal and will send.By showing this prompting, even the receiving terminal that the user selects is incorrect with the data that will send, the user also can know, and mistake has taken place, and can prevent wrong transmission.
In second process of transmitting, adopt bluetooth port 42 and infrared port 43 to send data, therefore, needn't in first process of transmitting, special device be installed, data transmit and can freely carry out.Though the terminal of this preferred embodiment has been installed bluetooth port 42 and infrared port 43 simultaneously, terminal also can be installed or bluetooth port 42 or infrared port 43.For example, if the user mainly communicates by letter with some specific personages, terminal can only be installed infrared port so.Transmit easily to exchange visiting cards with many people if the user wishes to carry out data, terminal can only be installed bluetooth port so.Certainly, except that bluetooth port and infrared port, can also use other orientation and omnidirectional's port and communication means, as long as they can exchange of information.
Adopt now Figure 14 that the step of the processing of the data that reception is sent by above-mentioned first or second process of transmitting is described.At first, the control unit 50 of receiving terminal checks whether the user has sent the instruction (step 1410) that receives data.When having sent instruction, receiving terminal is sought and is sent terminal (step 1420).Send terminal if exist, control unit 50 just makes receiving terminal link to each other (step 1440) with the transmission terminal, and receives data (step 1450) by communications interface unit 40.
In above-mentioned receiving course, control unit 50 preferably makes display 20 display reminding message, for example " arrives from the 00 △ △ that send.You receive? ", terminal only just receives data when the user agrees to receive.Because the data that arrived may comprise the user and be reluctant the data that receive,, can prevent to receive and not wish the data that receive by showing this prompting.
Present description of step 1460 is wherein with the data that received, store the memory that receives portable data assistance into as personal information and the bulletin that is used for meeting.In the personal information database (Figure 15) that the personal information storage that is received keeps in the memory device 30.Database has the corresponding items field with personal information.The file that is received, be stored in the file management database of information terminal as bulletin and view data; Structure at Figure 16 illustrated database.Database has exemplary following field, i.e. filename, size, attribute (for example read-only), date created and storage vault.Figure 17 illustrates the example data library structure of schedule data, and it has title, place, Start Date, time started, Close Date and the concluding time of arrangement project.
Figure 18 is the step that the information processing that is received is stored in explanation.At first, on display 20, demonstrate storage data validation prompting (step 1810); This prompting is represented in Figure 19.Then, control unit 50 checks whether the user clicks " agreement " button (step 1820).When the user clicked " agreement " button, control unit took out the data (step 1830) that received from communication interface.According to data category, control unit 50 stores the data of being taken out respectively in one of structure database shown in Figure 15,16 and 17, and begins to be placed on the memory according to priority from first field.Control unit 50 is checked the project (step 1850) whether also residue will store, and takes out data from communication interface, till not have to remain the data that will store, and repeatedly with the storage of being taken out in memory.By carrying out this processing, the information of reception can store in the arbitrary database that keeps in the memory device 30.
As mentioned above, in this preferred embodiment, by from the individual that imported and calendar information, selecting information project, put in the rank designators such as traffic use, private purposes for selected item, and store these projects, like this, when the information of transmission, just can change information characteristic according to transmission situation and destination at an easy rate.
Though in the above-described embodiments, stored information, as personal information, select the project that will send and information project sent to another terminal in portable data assistance, to carry out, but these operations also can be by the service supplier, carry out as the GC group connector user of operation center.
